Developer Offers Loan to Buy His Game on January 1st

Author: Seespace Labs

Seattle, WA, December 2^nd 2021 – Seespace Labs is on course to release its new musical puzzle-adventure game The Godkiller – Chapter 1 on Steam on January 1^st 2022, as promised earlier this year. However, it transpires that this date falls on a Saturday, and Valve does not allow Steam releases on a weekend. As such, the developer would like to make the following offer: players may have The Godkiller without paying for it on January 1^st, as long as they pledge to buy the game from Steam before January ends. Instructions on how to claim a copy of the game on New Year’s Day will be provided via the Seespace Labs mailing list.
"I've got a long record of keeping promises on release dates,” says Erik Hermansen, designer and developer of The Godkiller. “My game ships January 1st. Period."



Hermansen, whose previous credits include creating the much-loved DROD series of puzzle games, is immensely proud of his work on The Godkiller. "I started developing this game four years ago, and have worked on it nonstop since then. This will be the first release in an epic series. We've already begun work on the next sequel."



The Godkiller takes classic block-pushing gameplay and adds unique puzzle elements, including using blocks as letters to create anagrams, death and rebirth as gameplay mechanisms, and enemies who’ll push the blocks right back at you. The story follows Emm, who is cast out of Paradise and climbs the afterlife in search of the All-Blocks Plateau, where she may push blocks for eternity. The Godkiller clocks in at 58 levels, 12 vocalised songs, and about 30 hours of playtime for the completionist.



Players may claim their loan copy of The Godkiller – Chapter 1 for PC or Mac from January 1^st. Full instructions will be made available via the Seespace Labs mailing list. The Godkiller will be officially available on Steam from January 3^rd 2022, and a demo is already available on the Steam store.
